[mapguide-users] MapGuide on Fedora Core 5

[Traian Stanev]

The mapagent is a cgi agent that apache is supposed to instantiate. It's
not surprising that it fails from the command line, since Apache does
provide some context and environment variables for it to run
successfully.

To start the server process, you will need to locate and run a script
called mgserver.sh. It should be under
/usr/local/mapguideopensource/server/Bin. Once the server process is
started successfully, you can navigate a web browser to:

http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/index.html and execute some server
commands from the html page to see if things are working.

Urk!  Sorry -- lame brain mistake on my part.  Of course you can't pass 
the query string on the command line like that.  What I meant to run is 
simply:
# /usr/local/mapguideopensource/webserverextensions/bin/mapagent
And I got back a "Segmentation fault".  Does this indicate a problem 
with the entire server, or just the mapagent program?
